 United
Airlines and Wyndham Worldwide are launching a program to reduce carbon
emissions associated with corporate air travel.
Wyndham has agreed to become the launch partner for
United's Eco-Skies CarbonChoice corporate carbon offset program. The program
enables the airline's corporate customers to track and offset the emissions
stemming from their business travel and freight shipments on United at
the enterprise level.
United is the only U.S. airline offering a corporate
carbon offset program says Angela Foster-Rice, managing director - Environmental
Affairs & Sustainability at United Airlines.
“This program underscores United's efforts to
lead commercial aviation as an environmentally responsible company,”
Foster-Rice said.
The offset program uses actual flight level data, recognizing
aircraft type, routes, fuel consumption, payload, and customer-specific
business travel and cargo shipments on United.
The offsets are available through United's partnership
with global NGO Sustainable Travel International.
